JEWELRY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 434,405, dated August 12, 1890.

Application filed November 14, 1889- Serial No. 330,320. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EMIL W. SOHILL, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Jewelry; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawin gs, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The object of this invention is to reduce the cost of constructing jewelry; and it consists in the arrangement and combinations of parts, substantially as hereinafter set forth.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, in which like letters indicate corresponding parts in each of the several figures, Figure 1 is a face view, and Fig. 2 is a side view, of a finger-ring embodying my invention. Fig. 3 is a plan of the same. Fig. 4 is a section taken on line so, and Fig. 5 shows a section of a cramp of peculiar construction. Figs. 6 and 7 are views of a gallery or setting, and Fig. 8 is a section showing a modification.

In said drawings, a indicates the body of the finger-ring or other article of jewelry.

1) is a setting having a series of cramps c c of ordinary construction, and d are hollowwire cramps soldered on the setting.

e e are stones fixed between the cramps, and f are stones fixed on the hollow wires.

9 is a plate soldered at the bottom of the setting, and 'b' is a central hollow wire which extends up through the central chamber in the setting and serves to receive a central stone h and as a central support for the series of stones f. v

The setting maybe made as in Fig. 8, where j indicates a blank struck up or formed of sheet metal, in which a shoulder kis formed, having a recess Zon the side to receive the stone, and having a flange m, on which a gallery is soldered, the latter having a series of hollow-wire cramps d, Fig. 7, between which and the recessed shoulder the larger stones are held and on the top of which'the smaller stones are set.

. In carrying out the invention I first provid a setting b, of any ordinary con struction,which may be made by bending the gallery (shown in Fig. 6) to the form of a continuous band or ring. Then to the bottom of. the ring thus formed is soldered the plate g,forming-wl1at may be held to resemble a cup. To the upper edge of the gallery is soldered hollow-wire cramps, which may be made to alternate with solid crampsc. 1 next solder in the center of the cup-shaped receptacle a central hollow cramp, after which the larger stones e e are fastened between the cramps, and on the extremities of the hollow wire are fastened the smaller stones, thus producing a beautiful eifect at a reduced cost.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is- 1. In an article of jewelry, a setting having hollow wires alternating with solid cramps, substantially as set forth.

2. In an article of jewelry, the combination of the setting, a plate 9, soldered to the bottom edge thereof, and hollow-wire cramps soldered on the upper side thereof, substantially as setforth.

3. The finger-ring, combining,with the body a, a ring-like setting having a bottom plate a soldered to the inner edge thereof, a series-of
